Abstract We are currently living in the throes of COVID-19 pandemic that imposes a significant stress on health care providers and facilities. Europe is severely affected with an exponential increase incident infections deaths. The clinical manifestations can be subtle, encompassing broad spectrum from asymptomatic mild disease to severe respiratory illness. Health professionals endoscopy units at increased risk infection COVID-19. Infection prevention control has been shown dramatically...
PillCam colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is an innovative noninvasive, and painless ingestible technique that allows exploration of the without need for sedation gas insufflation. Although it already available in European other countries, clinical indications CCE as well reporting work-up detected findings have not yet been standardized. The aim this evidence-based consensus-based guideline, commissioned by Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) to furnish healthcare providers with a...
These recommendations on video capsule endoscopy, an emerging technology with impact the practice of were developed by European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guidelines Committee. The first draft each section was prepared one or two members writing team, who selected as experts content that basis their published work. They used evidence-based methodology, performing MEDLINE and PubMed literature searches to identify relevant clinical studies. Abstracts from scientific meetings...
MR1: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy as the first-line examination, before consideration of other endoscopic and radiological diagnostic tests for suspected bleeding, given excellent safety profile endoscopy, its patient tolerability, potential to visualize entire mucosa.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR2: in patients with overt bleeding soon possible after episode, ideally within 48 hours, maximize subsequent therapeutic yield.Strong high MR3: does not...
Main Recommendations 1 ESGE recommends that the initial assessment of patients presenting with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding should include: a history co-morbidities and medications promote bleeding; hemodynamic parameters; physical examination (including digital rectal examination); laboratory markers. A risk score can be used to aid, but not replace, clinician judgment. Strong recommendation, low quality evidence. 2 that, in self-limited bleed no adverse clinical features, an...
Abstract Climate change and the destruction of ecosystems by human activities are among greatest challenges 21st century require urgent action. Health care significantly contribute to emission greenhouse gases waste production, with gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy being one largest contributors. This Position Statement aims raise awareness ecological footprint GI provides guidance reduce its environmental impact. The European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Gastroenterology Nurses...
Main Recommendations 1 ESGE recommends that patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD; due to viruses, alcohol, and/or nonobese [BMI < 30 kg/m2] nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) and clinically significant portal hypertension (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] > 10 mmHg stiffness by transient elastography 25 kPa) should receive, if no contraindications, nonselective beta blocker (NSBB) therapy (preferably carvedilol) prevent the development of variceal...
Main Recommendations MR1 ESGE recommends the following standards for Barrett esophagus (BE) surveillance: – a minimum of 1-minute inspection time per cm BE length during surveillance endoscopy photodocumentation landmarks, segment including one picture length, and esophagogastric junction in retroflexed position, any visible lesions use Prague (for lesions) Paris classification collection biopsies from all abnormalities (if present), followed by random four-quadrant every 2-cm length. Strong...
1: ESGE recommends cold snare polypectomy (CSP), to include a clear margin of normal tissue (1-2 mm) surrounding the polyp, for removal diminutive polyps (≤ 5 mm).Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. 2: against use biopsy forceps excision because its rate incomplete resection.Strong moderate 3: CSP, small (6-9 4: hot nonpedunculated adenomatous 10-19 mm in size.Strong 5: conventional (diathermy-based) endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) large (≥ 20 (LNPCPs).Strong 6: suggests that...
OBJECTIVES: Ambulatory 24-h pH–impedance monitoring can be used to assess the relationship of persistent symptoms and reflux episodes, despite proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Using this technique, we aimed identify patients with hypersensitive esophagus evaluate effect selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on their symptoms. METHODS: Patients normal endoscopy typical (heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation), PPI therapy twice daily, underwent monitoring. Distal esophageal acid...
This joint ASGE-ESGE guideline provides an evidence-based summary and recommendations regarding the role of endoscopic bariatric metabolic therapies (EBMTs) in management obesity. The document was developed using Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) framework. It evaluates efficacy safety EBMT devices procedures that currently have CE mark or FDA-clearance/approval, had been approved within five years development. suggests use EBMTs plus lifestyle modification...
Large gastric phytobezoars may occur in patients with dysmotility disorders. Treatment options include dissolution enzymes, endoscopic fragmentation removal or aspiration, and surgery. We report our experience nasogastric cola lavage therapy. Over an 8-year period, five consecutive were referred to unit for treatment of large phytobezoars. They included one patient lobectomy lung cancer four diabetic gastroparesis. An initial attempt was unsuccessful. Patients treated 3 l Coca-Cola over 12...
